Comic Bastards - Zeb Larson
Oct 02, 2017Southern Bastards is not Walking Tall, because the rot that exists in Craw County isn't just because some bad guy moved into town and nobody's gotten rid of him yet. There's something deeper in the culture of this place that produces bad men, and there's a strikingly thin line between the bad men and the Tubbs who give out nickel beatings to people who deserve them. I'm curious to see exactly how that tension is developed, especially given all of the Rubicon imagery we're treated to. Read Full Review

Sep 27, 2017This issue is the beginning of the end, and its what most readers have probably been waiting for from this story. With Roberta just getting started, we still have plenty of loose ends to tie off, and story to tell. This was one of the better issues in a cant-miss series. Read Full Review

Oct 04, 2017Southern Bastards continues to be an amazing comic. It may not have the most consistent schedule, but there has never been a bad issue in this series. This issue is definitely a must have because Roberta's quest for vengeance seems to be ramping up, and it is not to be missed. Read Full Review

Black Nerd Problems - William Evans
Sep 26, 2017A writer and artist shake up, but no drop in quality as we got a singular character focus on Roberta as she starts her revenge in earnest. Things are rough in Craw County, and now that Roberta has truly committed to the cause, it's going to get much worse. Read Full Review

I didn't quite know what to expect from this issue; I didn't like Latour's writing on issue #12, and I ended up rather strongly disliking his and Chris Brunner's "Loose Ends." Despite my trepidation, this issue was really good; after such a build up, it's kind of great seeing Roberta kick some ass, though I don't trust Aaron and Latour to give her a happy ending. This is violent and jarring, but in the best way. It also provides some background info on Earl, which seems like the first time in a while. And Brunner's artwork worked out well. Latour isn't a writer I really care for, but I have the sense that both he and Aaron have so much invested in this book that they won't publish a sub-par issue; even though its a bit jarringly not Aaron, more
